+1 here for graduation Being an OG of this project, I am very happy to see how it has evolved over the years and especially happy to see the enthusiasm of the members to move the project forward. In addition, I would like to add a vote of confidence for Chris Mattmann as our VP. He has done an excellent job leading the evolution of OODT here at JPL for the last few years and expect he will do the same for the project under the Apache umbrella.
